TOPIC: Bearers Of Salvation (Rhapsody of Realities 27 July 2022)
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust (1 Timothy 1:11).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:
As Christians, we have a ministry of reconciliation; our work of the Gospel is to reach our world and reconcile men to God. We have to do it. Those of us who have believed in Jesus Christ have been brought into fellowship with God (1 John 1:3), but the whole world isnât. Itâs our responsibility to bring them in.
Jesus said in Mark 16:15, ââŠGo ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.â This charge wasnât given to angels, but to usâHis disciples. Thereâre Christians who pray to God to send angels to get people to come to Christ; but thatâs not their job. Their job is to get the people in contact with us so we can minister the Gospel to them.

Weâre the bearers of the message of salvation; weâre the ones to lead people to salvation in Christ Jesus. Somebody might say, âBut in Revelation 14:6- 7, weâre told about the angel that was to preach the everlasting Gospel: âAnd I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.ââ
The message of this angel wasnât a message of salvation, but of judgment as seen in the underlined portion above. Preaching the Gospel of salvation is an assignment clearly cut out for us. In Acts 10, the Bible tells us how an angel was sent to a Roman soldier by the name of Cornelius (Acts 10:1-3). But the angel didnât preach the Gospel to Cornelius. Instead, the angel got him to make contact with Simon Peter who came and preached to Cornelius and his household, and they received salvation.
What an honourable assignment it is for us to be the bearers of the message of salvation to the ends of the earth! Blessed be God! You should be glad about that. Make it your life work. Youâve been given the opportunity to serve in the Gospel, to make His righteousness known, and establish His Kingdom in the earth and in the hearts of men. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for the privilege to be a bearer of the message of salvation. Thank you for granting me the grace to turn men to righteousness, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God. I fulfil my ministry today as an ambassador of Christ and of the Gospel, in Jesusâ Name. Amen.
